Combining consistent performance with quiet, comfortable operation, KaVo’s EXPERTtorque is a highspeed air-driven handpiece that delivers long-lasting value at an affordable price
Few things disrupt the rhythm of daily practice like equipment that isn’t up to the task. This is especially true when it comes to workhorses like dental handpieces. Whether it tends to stall mid-prep, causes hands to cramp during lengthy procedures, or is so loud that it puts the whole office on edge, an underperforming handpiece can quickly derail clinical efficiency and the patient experience.
Conversely, with the right handpiece, clinicians can keep disruptions and discomfort to a minimum, ensuring each patient’s time in the chair is as seamless and satisfying as possible.
Balancing power with ergonomics, the EXPERTtorque air-driven handpiece is a cost-effective solution that tackles common pain points headon. Available in standard and mini head sizes, this highspeed handpiece offers reliable performance, remarkably quiet operation, and a host of other features that support smooth, streamlined dentistry.
Power Through Demanding Procedures
Reliably delivering up to 29 watts of power, the EXPERTtorque enables dentists to work without disruption—even during difficult preparations. “The power and torque that this handpiece provides are more than adequate for very involved applications such as crown and bridge procedures,” shared Marc Malatesta, DDS, a general dentist who uses the EXPERTtorque daily in his Rochester, NY, practice. “It allows us to complete most treatments with minimal interruptions, increasing our efficiency and ultimately our patients’ comfort.”
The EXPERTtorque handpiece offers several distinctive features, most notably a patented chuck system that ensures reliability and industry leading gripping strength. A critical component to the KaVo chuck system is a robust guide bushing made of tungsten carbide, which aides in precise and concentric bur rotation. Brightness up to 25,000 lux properly illuminates the prep site with reduced shadowing, ensuring clinicians have the best visibility.
Ergonomics Meet Patient Comfort
With ergonomics that include a mini head size and an optimal 100°/19° head-knee angle, the EXPERTtorque enhances access and visibility in all areas of the oral cavity. “The smaller head size is ideal, allowing for more intraoral visibility during procedures,” affirmed Dr. Malatesta, adding that he’s found the EXPERTtorque to be overall “well-balanced, lightweight, and comfortable to use.”
He also appreciates that the EXPERTtorque produces minimal noise and vibration—benefits it owes to its high-quality ceramic ball bearings and best-in-class computer balanced turbines. “Many patients comment on the high-pitched sound of ‘dental drills,’ and dentists can develop hearing issues after years of practicing,” Dr. Malatesta explained. “EXPERTtorque’s quieter operation can help mitigate these concerns.”
Maximum Value at a Modest Price
Like all KaVo Expert series instruments, the EXPERTtorque air-driven handpiece is made with high-quality, low-wear materials to minimize service costs and maximize longevity. In addition to an autoclavable stainless-steel turbine body and easy-to-clean EXPERTgrip surface, the handpiece features a multi-port spray with an exclusive replaceable microfilter that improves spray quality while preventing clogging. Better still, the handpiece comes with a 2-year warranty that can be extended to 2.5 years by using the KaVo QUATTROcare Plus Handpiece Maintenance System.
After years of daily use, Dr. Malatesta confirms that his EXPERTtorque handpieces are still going strong. “Our practice tried other handpieces in the past, but we haven’t switched since using these,” he shared, crediting the EXPERTtorque’s reliability, durability, and comfort. In all, he believes that the benefits KaVo’s EXPERTtorque brings to his workflows are exceptional—especially given its modest upfront cost. “This handpiece offers great value at its price point,” he concluded. “It’s a solid choice.”
